I'm trying to build a strategy that will detect steep angling uptrends.
I started by creating a Strategy using the Lin. reg. slope indicator and then ran an Optimization on it in the Strategy Analyzer.
For one thing, I could not figure out a way to only enter long trades on upward angling slopes? How would I tell the indicator or Strategy Builder to only enter long on upward angling slopes?
Secondly, it seems that no matter what values I use during the optimization, I get the same Total net profit results and it does not appear that the values I use in the parameters affect the steepness of the price moves that the indicator choosed to enter trades on.
The first set of values that I used were: 5;75;5
The second set of values that I used were: 1;5;1
I also do have a Profit Target and Stop Loss set in this Strategy.
How could I get the Strategy Builder to only enter long trades when the angle of the price move is steep, to the upside?
And why are the results so similar? Is there a way to cause the results to vary to a larger degree?
Screenshots attached.
